BIDEN-HARRIS, WHERE ARE YOU?

Some of you of a certain age may remember that comedy police tv show Car 54 Where Are You featuring two stumble-bum NYC cops who were never where they should be and never got anything right. Well, the current situations in the US and the world in general remind me of that show’s theme song. I have paraphrased somewhat. If you remember it, sing along with me.

“The economy’s a mess. Our southern border’s in distress. Crime is rampant in our streets. The Middle East is such a beast. BIDEN-HARRIS, WHERE AAARE YOU?

Some of you may not like my little ditty, but in my opinion it fits. Currently, there are a plethora of serious problems facing the US, and neither Biden nor Harris is to be found. For the record, Harris, as vp, has supported Biden’s policies consistently. She is married to them. They are hers as well as his.

Rising prices and rising interest rates have destroyed the fiction that inflation is “transient.” Yesterday’s employment report demolished the administration’s fiction regarding that area. Also, yesterday, the stock market crashed, which is a harbinger of tougher times ahead.

Many people are having trouble putting food on the table, putting gas in their cars, or finding an affordable place to live. The ME is about to explode. Israel is already fighting Hamas and Hezbollah in a two-front war, and Iran is threatening to broaden that into a regional conflict. Russia’s war with Ukraine is threatening to escalate. China is ready to pounce on Taiwan. And North Korea is, well, North Korea.

And, Biden-Harris, or is it Harris-Biden (forgive me if I get confused, but then again so do they) has not said or done anything about any of them. Neither of them is to be found. Harris is on her “honeymoon,” and Biden is probably sleeping comfortably somewhere.

Biden-Harris’ economic policies will likely result in a recession, maybe a deep one. Their open border policies have allowed some 20 million illegal immigrants to enter our country, mostly unvetted. If even 1% of them are terrorists, criminals, or ne’er do wells we have 200,000 such people loose in the country. Biden-Harris’ weakness abroad has emboldened our enemies and distressed our allies.

Let’s not forget, Biden is still the president, albeit in name only. Basically, he has “checked out,” and Harris not taken charge yet. She’s busy campaigning. She has not even given an open press conference in which she will have to answer questions from the media. I’m not counting the softball, creampuff interviews with handpicked journalists. I mean a real press conference with media that will push her on the issues. Biden has not even issued his famous, ineffectual warning to our enemies – “don’t.” If that was meant to deter our enemies, it hasn’t and never will.

Who’s calling the shots? Who’s running the show. To paraphrase Abbott and Costello – “Who’s on first?”

CONCLUSION

The US is in a dire situation. Our enemies sense weakness and indecisiveness. They smell blood. We are vulnerable, and they know it. In fact, we are as weak and vulnerable as we have ever been in my lifetime, and Biden-Harris seem oblivious to all of it. They are focused on DEI and pronouns. They treat illegal aliens better than citizens. They have shown they will do anything to get elected, even pander to the far left and socialist elements that hate America and have seized control of the Dem Party.

And yet, despite the foregoing the 2024 presidential election is in a virtual dead heat. Millions of people are either uncaring, ignorant or oblivious. Others favor Trump’s policies over Biden-Harris’, but they have such irrational hatred for Trump that they will vote Dem anyway, even though it is against their and their children’s self-interest. Go figure.

I don’t get it. I just don’t get it.
